A week back my company purchased 1 mbps leased line from the airtel ISP who gave mrotek SHDSL
modem and the engineer who have installed the wiring etc has given us two sets of ip addr which
he configured in winxp and the first set of ipaddr should be entered as the details follows
First set of ipaddr:
IP : 125.22.255.122
mask : 255.255.255.252
Gateway : 125.22.255.121
Dns server addr:
preferred dns server : 203.145.184.32
alternate dns server : 203.145.184.13
and the winxp must be restarted after and he says that the first set of ipaddr is for logical
connection that is this first set of ipaddr should be established with the ISP and after that in
the same place after restarting we have to enter the second set of ipaddr as follows in the same
ethernet device
ipaddr: 122.165.253.233
mask : 255.255.255.248
gw : 125.22.255.121
dns server address (same)
preferred dns : 203.145.184.32
alternate dns : 203.145.184.13
Again after restarting the winxp and after booting it starts up browsing
But what my actual question is i want to connect to linux machine but can't able to do i did the
same procedure what I should did for winxp but i failed in more attempts . In linux first of all
when i started configuring the first set of ipaddr the gateway pings and after restarting and
enterting the second set of ipaddr the gateway can't pings up and note in both set of this ipaddr
the gateway or same and what i have to do to get it connected

I do not understand this thing of restarting and reassigning IP to same NIC. May be because I do not have experience with SHDSL.
However, are you trying linux and windows xp on same machine ?
And btw, instead of restarting winxp, try disabling the network connection and then change its IP to second set and enable it. Tell me if it works.
After this we can see how to make work it in linux.
